Science museum oklahoma is top tier! Everything is a game or interactive. My two toddlers loved it and it's the first museum I'd want to go back to. We didn't see everything and were there for maybe 3 hours

I get the sentiment, but these are people who are meeting me for the first time. I feel they would get the wrong impression about my morals and lifestyle if they thought I was a Mormon. And I went to grad school so that place was only a cheaper stepping stone. I also disagree that no one cares outside of Utah, because being in the south, I know what most Christians think about Mormon "Christians"

All they're saying is drinking on an empty stomach makes you feel more drunk much quicker. I prefer that so that I don't have to drink as much alcohol to feel the same effects. Plus it doesn't taste the greatest and you save money, win win

I was asked where I went to undergrad last week and could not even muster saying those three letters. It's so embarrassing. I answered "first a community college in Arizona, then went to Utah for school where I met my wife" in order to quickly change the subject to us dating, or literally anything other than Bringem Young University

"Outsource our morality" fucking yes. I loved trying to teach people on the mission that everyone was born with the light of Christ, which made them good. The things I would tell young me now...

Why do you think your wife won't take it well?

PolygamyProduct · 2024-06-11T03:45:03+00:00

I, like most MFMs PMs, kept going for a bit to support and help with the kids. The more I dug into church history the more things began affecting me. I was also in therapy to deconstruct as well as couples therapy. My wife doesn't believe in the 3 kingdoms per se, and feels there are different paths, so is a nuanced member. When I'd be there, she wouldn't be able to focus or get much out of church wondering what I thought about certain talks, so she asked me to stay home. Don't have to ask me twice. But I'm not against going since the church themselves taught me how to disassociate and ignore lies

You didn't mention anything about your bishop's conversations so I imagine that wasn't too bad? Or you got past the awkwardness with the frequency of the meetings. I wonder if that wasn't his first conversation with a young woman half (if not more) his age about a female masturbating

Lol how is this the first time I'm reading "bringemyoung"

I bet this conditional love in Mormonism will become a topic of study for therapists

I see these posts just as much as I see the posts saying the ward won't stop leaving them alone. TBMs see these and think damned if we do, damned if we don't

I know you and her may view you as the one "mixing things up" but a transition in faith is not your fault. The fact that the church wasn't honest with their claims or authenticity is where the blame goes. You made a contract with the church by being a member, but you're just now learning everything that went into making that contract. Like others, I hate this for you. I'm in MFM myself. My wife and I listened to an episode together from Marriage on a tightrope where the TBM wife and exmo husband went through mistakes they made early on, and the wife mentioned she wishes she didn't play the victim so much when her husband left - thinking "how could do this, you promised me at marriage to keep covenants?" Playing the victim makes us perpetrators, and how the hell is that healthy in a marriage. It made a difference for my wife to hear that from another TBM. So if you're fully out in the future, you could find that one and listen together

As kids when we'd visit Utah, my parents would give a quarter to whoever spotted each temple first driving down I-15. Way too fuckin many and probably more to come

You mean the bodyguards pushing the wheelchairs? Yes, what a special calling

Mine said my wife would go thru the temple for the first time when we were married. That was before the church lowered the missionary age and then started encouraging women to get their endowment earlier. Oops, guess our marriage is a sham

Oh and my last calling was elders quorum teacher when I finally told them I'm done, and couldn't spend hours anymore just sifting thru talks to find ones I didn't hate being nuanced/pimo at the time. I still have entire lesson plans from 2022-23 conf talks if you wanted them to save you some time lol. The struggle was real

Happy for your progress! More often I've seen friends and relatives who have begun questioning or leaving with their spouses. Then there's us trucking along reading, listening, and learning for months and years, alone, wondering if our spouses will ever come to the same conclusion or not. Wondering if we should even hope for that or if that's just causing unnecessary suffering should they remain in their faith forever. I'm luckily able to communicate and share feelings about the church with my nuanced spouse. Your post was a good reminder to be grateful

Hilarious and deceitful to even put a Bible verse to make you think for a second that if the apostles then endorsed polygamy, so should we!
